Ahh, a book that makes you want to drink dirty martinis!
The Witches Of Moonshyne Manor brought the fun to my Spooky Season reads!
But even more than that, author Bianca Marais wove in issues I wasn't expecting. And they worked beautifully - gender identity and expression, aging, dementia, feminism (a dog named for RBG!), sexual expression, and holding on to what's theirs.
I completely enjoyed the writing style, the atmosphere, the characters (eight witches, introduced at the beginning so we can refer until we're used to who's who) and the recipes for potions, spells and bevvies!
Simply put, this is a treat of a read - no tricks! Recommended.
